With its ability to monitor conditions across the supply chain at every node and touch point digitalization provides the only practical solution. They can ingest large volumes of functional data and leverage advanced intelligence to recognize broad trends and specific disruptive events. billion to $23.07

The upshot of all this is the result of now we very brittle supply chains, now inherently susceptible to massive disruption – even by a single event – such as the tsunami event in Japan. Response to node failures is robust. Attributes of sourcing strategies that focus effectiveness: High Adaptability. High Responsiveness.

Risk events that happen in one part of the supply chain can cause a disruptive effect that is amplified multi-fold given the complex connectivity of labor, raw materials, and capacity. The bullwhip effect is one example of this disruptive effect, when small changes in demand cause huge demand spikes downstream.

This requires complete transparency across all steps and events along the entire supply chain. An operation that is optimizing the real time flow of goods is also well-positioned to manage unexpected events. Look at the big picture. The only solution is to boost efficiency by optimizing processes for the long term.

On the breadth dimension, we have a spectrum that includes point solutions out to alerts over a much broader range of events. One example is an alert that a truck will be late based on a GPS feed. Four Kites and Descartes are examples of software companies whose solution provides this type of alert. – mentioned above.

American Supply Chain Resilience Act and the German Supply Chain Act are just two examples of this. This is creating the need to shrink the time between identification of a sourcing need and executing on a sourcing event. Wanted to share these thoughts here.

And agility is about reacting quickly and hopefully effectively to the actual disruptive event. But the event might not be disruptive at all if you had planned for it. One week, the model may show the capacity of an upstream node as being 200 units, the next week it can show 700 units.
